Re: [Callers] Glossary dances with promenade, no chain/RL through?

[Alan Winston via Callers]

Here's one of mine.  Low piece count, promenade to chain is good flow.  
(I never totally love the "chain, look for new neighbors" because you 
either have to bail out of the courtesy turn to face new neighbor or 
complete the turn (now facing partner) and turn away to new neighbor, 
but it's common enough that it works.


I think this really is easy enough for your busload  of beginners.  Low 
piece count, don't have to identify  the neighbor who's dancing with 
your partner (like many oval dances).  It does have a chain; sorry about 
that.


CLAIRE'S REQUEST
Alan Winston 11/17/2017

Form:IC Fig:NB&S;OvalL&R;BTR,PS;Prom,WC:

A1: Neighbor balance and swing
A2: Big Oval left and right
B1: 1-2: With hands, balance ring in original foursome
 (keep the hand you've got with neighbor and take the free hand 
with your

  partner)
    3-8: Ravens/ladies draw Partners to their side for a swing.
B2: 1-4: Partners promenade to gents/larks side
    5-8: Ladies/Ravens chain to current neighbor, look for new neighbor

   [But if you really don't want a chain even in the good flow 
from promenade situation, ladies/ravens allemand R 1.5 to new neighbor, 
which may be preferable given the courtesy turn problem mentioned above]

A nice one is Promenade Right by Luke Donforth (note: it has a
circle right):
http://www.madrobincallers.org/2013/06/25/three-tries-at-simple-dances/

Also, some of the dances below can be adapted by changing a right
and left thru to a promenade across.

I agree with your assessment about promenade/right and left thru
to circle left.
I find right and left thru or promenade can also often be followed
by one of these, which flows better:

- ladies chain (very common)

- left hand star (example: True Grit by Chris Page:
http://chrispagecontra.awardspace.us/dances/#true-grit)

- circle right (see above)

- hey, ladies pass right (example: Zoey and Me by Sue Rosen:
http://dance.suerosencaller.com/dancedb/view/?title=Zoey+and+Me)

- ladies allemande right (example: A-1 Reel by Chris Weiler:

Re: [Callers] Glossary dances with promenade, no chain/RL through?

[Rich Sbardella via Callers]

I agree that calling a circle right after a promenade across, has better
flow than a circle left, but I am reluctant to call a circle right in my
first dance (unless it follows a circle left).  I prefer to use the first
dance to teach basic calls I will be using all night, and I believe that
the body, or muscle, memory learned in that first dance will help the
danceability all evening.  Teaching them to circle right, when they will be
circle left all evening, works against my goals.
I do call dances with circle right, just not as part of my first few dances
of the evening.

Kalia,
I never thought about that.  In Squares it is very common to go from
Promenade Home to Circle Left.  I never had a problem dancing that.
I have called Wrinkled Ribbon many times and never noticed a problem, and
never had negative feedback.

Re: [Callers] Glossary dances with promenade, no chain/RL through?

[Rich Sbardella via Callers]

Just to be clear, "My Corduroy Blazer"  has LL (Long Lines F&B) not CL.
Again the dance was written to be a first dance of an evening that
introduces many of the basics that will follow in the evening, yet have
loose timing to accommodate newbies.

Yep, Alex, I totally agree on the point of promenade (or RL thru, or

criteria: *dances with a promenade, no chain or RL thru, and promenade is
NOT followed by a circle L*.

I've been using this dance a lot lately and really like it.  It flows 
well and is easy to teach and remember, and the signature move makes it 
a bit unusual.

Re: [Callers] Glossary dances with promenade, no chain/RL through?

[Richard Fischer via Callers]

Here's one of mine:   

Power Promenade   Becket Richard Allen Fischer

A1  "Power Promenade:" Promenade across with your partner and make a big loop 
left so you face your next neighbors; ladies chain.

A2  Petronella x2

B1  Balance & Swing your Neighbor

B2  Give and Take to the Gent's side.

Re: [Callers] Glossary dances with promenade, no chain/RL through?

[Alexandra Deis-Lauby via Callers]

I find that there aren’t many dances with a Promenade or RL that are NOT 
followed by a circle left. When Dancing promenades to circle lefts, I don’t 
like them as an experienced dancer because they don’t feel good and as a caller 
I watch new dancers struggle with them because they don’t flow logically unless 
the dancers correct for it (which one won’t know how to do unless they’ve been 
dancing a very long time and are attuned to momentum.) 
Does anyone have dances with promenade or right and left throughs that flow 
into the next figure in a logical and satisfying way?

Hello Maia,
I put one together a couple of years ago.  I tried to make the timing as
forgiving as possible, thus the Balance the Ring and Pass Thru, instead of
CL 3/4 & Pass Thru.

My Corduroy Blazer (D/I)

A1: N DSD, N Swg
A2: Gents Alle L 1-1/2. P Swg
B1: Prom Across, LL
B2: CL 3/4. Bal Ring, Pass Thru

[Callers] Glossary dance

[Tom Hinds via Callers]

I don’t know if the dance below qualifies as a glossary dance but it’s one is 
one of my favorites for building confidence when there are loads of newbies.   
I’ve tried to find out the name but have had no luck.  

Just teach the Pet twirl well and tie the end of the B2 to the beginning of the 
A1 during the walk through and it’s very accessible.

I would tend to use it more for younger newbies than older ones.

A1,A2. Balance, pet. 4X

B1 circle left, swing neighbor

B2. Forward and back, ones swing.

[John Sweeney via Callers]

Hi Maia,

  Just take any dance with a Right & Left Through and change it to 
a Half Promenade.

 

Happy dancing,  

   John

Hi folks,

 

Had a busload of beginners at my dance last night and realized I have a hole in 
my program -- I don't have any good glossary/beginner-friendly dances with a 
promenade but no chain or RL through. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!
Maia
